St. Vincent de Paul (1581-1660) was founder of the Congregation
of the Mission, Daughters of Charity, Confraternities of Charity, and
Ladies of Charity. A man of deep faith, keen intellect, and enormous
creativity, he has become known as the "The Apostle of Charity" and
"Father of the Poor." His contributions to the training of priests and
organizing parish missions and other services for the poor shaped our
Church's role in the modern world. |
